While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.

— Maya Angelou

“Here's a Cameroonian woman who can do wonderful things with her voice, from soft and intimate to boppy ma non troppo, with traces of gospel, jazz and classical as well as multifarious West African roots influence. She sings with heartbreakingly clear pitch and clear feeling. [...] Imaginative touches abound, but no needless flourish or melisma is allowed to impede her wealth of quiet soul. The album title translates as 'maturity' and it sounds just so - an exceptional talent, [...] and a fine album. Rick Sanders - fRoots

“...each song is instrumentally free from clutter [...] leaving ample space for Mbassi's wistful and evocative voice to succeed in its task of giving up a consistently rich and melodic performance that oozes meaning and beauty... Lins Honeyman - Cross Rhythms

“A remarkable Cameroonian singer with some strikingly individual ideas. Working a capella, with some incisive, adventurous string arrangements, and a forays into lightly off-kilter R&B, she paints a canvas around her voice. The writing is very sophisticated, and Mbassi shows herself to be a real find, a singer of rare intelligence. It's easy to still hear Cameroon in her voice, which is no bad thing, centering the entire record.” Global Village Idiot

“...the London-based [...] singer Coco Mbassi helped to give Cameroonian music a new identity which fused jazz, pop and local traditional rhythms. - Alain Mouafo - The Rough Guide to World Music (Africa & the Middle East)
